If someone were to say that Ubuntu was a Noob's distribution, I wouldn't 
bothering correcting them for the [0-9]% exception rate.

I am warming to Ubuntu a little after years of defiant resistance, but 
Redhat still rules the roost and I don't see how or why any credible 
shops would go Ubuntu. It's only little web2.0 startups without 
significant expertise that are using it from what I can tell of the job 
market.

In my experience ubuntu servers actually have too many non-security 
updates which is a mistake for a server distro as this causes alerts, 
and wastes admin time with patching. I'm yet to hear a very experienced 
and highly skilled person to recommend ubuntu for servers (because they 
should know better).
